Review of Hydraulics Engineering

It is a converging tube installed at the end of a pipe or hose for the purpose of increasing the velocity of the issuing jet.

• Nozzle

• Orifice

• Pitot Tube

• Weir

Sudden change in elevation, cross-section or level, may cross this phenomenon on flowing water

• Hydraulic Jump

• Open Channel

• Venturi Meter

• Water Hammer

This is the amount of fluid per unit time. (WRITE YOUR ANSWER IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS)

Sudden closure of the valve on a flowing pipe with the necessary velocity will cause a great increase in pressure at some point before the valve.

• Pitot Tubes

• Venturi Meter

• Water Hammer

• Weir

This is the small opening on the side or bottom of a tank through which any kind of fluid is flowing. (WRITE YOUR ANSWER IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS)

Which is/are the orifice coefficient(s)?

• Contraction

• Discharge

• Velocity

• Vena Contracta

For Pumps: INPUT = ELECTRICITY

For Turbines: OUTPUT = __________

This is an opening in a dam or other hydraulic structure to control the passage of water. It has the same hydraulic properties as the orifice.

• Channel

• Dam

• Gate

• Weir

If the discharge is constant, what type of flow does it has?

• Compressible

• Laminar

• Steady

• Uniform

The maximum contraction takes place at a section slightly on the downstream side of the orifice. This is section is knows as ____________
